Several European clubs, including Greek giant Olympiacos, are interested in business Antony on loan from Manchester United, reports claim.
The 24-year-old has been a peripheral figure at Previous Trafford this season, playing just 84 minutes of Premier League football in six substitute appearances.
The appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach has done little to improve Antony’s position in the United team, with Amad Diallo the Portuguese’s preferred forward option in a system that has seen Noussair Mazraoui often deployed at right back.
He daily mail He writes that Antony is on the radar of Olympiacos, who could probably offer football to the Brazilian first team if he were loaned. However, he may need United to subsidize a portion of the lofty wages he signed up for when he joined for a whopping £86m in the summer of 2022.
“Many clubs have approached us for Antony’s transfer in January,” Antony’s agent Junior Pedroso previously said of a possible exit.
“These clubs wanted to understand Antony’s situation, so I can confirm that there is concrete interest. I can say that Antony’s future is closely linked to the interests of Manchester United. If the club believes that it would be a good idea to loan Antony in January so that he can get more minutes and regain his confidence, we will work together on that option.”
Antony was brought to Previous Trafford by former manager Erik ten Hag, whom he had impressed during a two-year spell at Ajax. But despite a promising start to his United career, in which he scored three goals in his first three Premier League games (the first player in the club’s history to achieve that feat), he failed to move on, as He often encountered the supervision of the judiciary.
La Liga side Betis have also been touted as a potential destination for Antony, while a move to the cash-rich Saudi Professional League has previously been mooted.
United are understood to be open to allowing Antony to leave provided conditions are favourable, with the departures of Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee also on the cards after difficult starts to the campaign for both. AC Milan are interested in Rashford, while Zirkzee is a transfer target for Juventus; Dusan Vlahovic has been touted as a potential weight in any deal.
